A/N: Well I had to get this chapter up, seeing as Goldilocks was getting niggly at me LOL. Hope y'all enjoy and more will be up soon. Chapters might slow down a bit though, as uni is about to start up, but I will try and get you at least one a week Oh and I don't own I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth).
Cheers

Chapter 10When they all got back to Jack's house, courtesy of Teal'c driving them in Daniel's car, a novel experience for all involved, and one that none of them wanted to repeat. Jack got them all a drink and then went inside and got the stereo fired up, while everyone else got settled in the backyard.
The sound of 70's rock filled the property as Jack went about laying out nibblies for his friends. He also iced and sliced the cake, before he was too inebriated to do so. Sam and Jack had noticed that Daniel and Janet had been getting awfully close, and thus, made sure that they were seated together and had full drinks, for the remainder of the afternoon. The latter not being much of a problem, as Daniel was a one-pot-wonder, and Janet being so petite, could only hold her liquor marginally better.
Whenever Jack disappeared into the kitchen, Sam would make some excuse as to why he needed her help, mainly for the benefit of Teal'c, as Janet and Daniel were giggling like schoolgirls in the corner. Sam walked into the kitchen to see Jack rummaging through a cupboard, and could not resist the urge to pinch him on the arse. Jack started at the unexpected sensation, and bumped his head on the cupboard. He could hear Sam giggling as he got out from the cupboard cursing and rubbing his head. Sam gave Jack a little shrug, took a bite out of a piece of carrot, picked up a bowl of chips and sashayed out into the backyard. Jack shook his head and muttered "that woman is gonna be the death of me, boy am I in trouble tonight" as he continued to chop up the salad.
Teal'c was looking less than amused at the antics of the two drunken doctors in the corner, who were desperately fighting in a game of Thumb Wars. Sam sat down next to the big Jaffa and said "You're gonna have fun driving them home." A rare smile graced the Jaffa's lips and he replied "Indeed, Major Carter, I did only agree to drive them to Janet's home. There was no agreement made to return Daniel Jackson to his apartment. I shall transport them and then return to Stargate Command for the evening." Sam chuckled at the knowing smile and asked, "So how are Ry'ac and Bra'tac?" Teal'c accepted the change in topic, if only until they were out of earshot of the drunken doctors in the corner, and said "They are well. Under Master Bra'tac's guidance, Ry'ac is turning into a formidable warrior and together they have recruited many Jaffa to our cause"
Jack chose that moment to fire up the barbecue, knowing that the jibbering drunken idiots in the corner needed to eat, else they would pass out. Sam and Teal'c helped the doctors to the couch in Jack's living room, and then Sam began putting the salad together whilst Teal'c went out to Jack. "O'Neill, I know that you and Major Carter have commenced a relationship, which is against the regulations of your United States Air Force. You have chosen well for your mate – Major Carter is a formidable warrior for the Tau'ri. Know that if you injure her, I will put my ninety years of torture knowledge to use, and not even the Nox will be able to hide you." Sam chose that moment to go out into the backyard and overheard the end of Teal'c's statement, so she turned on her heel and returned to the kitchen. Jack was left dumbfounded as Teal'c inclined his head, and strode inside.
Sam began to set out the plates and cutlery when Teal'c walked to the fridge and poured himself a glass of orange juice before turning to Sam. "Major Carter, I know that there are regulations in place preventing yourself and O'Neill from having a relationship. I also know that you have broken these regulations. I have watched you and O'Neill over the last four years, and know that this is no passing thing. You can count on my support and my silence on this matter; however, it would be best to wait until a solution has been found before you tell Daniel Jackson. I wish you and O'Neill the best of luck, he is a strong leader, you are well matched." Sam smiled at her teammate "Thank you Teal'c, but Jack and I – I mean Colonel O'Neill and I are not in a relationship" Sam finished unconvincingly. Teal'c inclined his head, smiling knowingly and went to watch over Daniel and Janet.
Sam grabbed a tray from on top of the oven and took it out to Jack, who was still staring out to space after is "talk" with Teal'c. Taking in the look on Sam's face he said, "So he got you too I take it?" Sam inclined her head to the living room and said "I'll tell you about it tonight", before handing Jack the tray as he piled it full of charred meat and they walked into the house together.
They ate their dinner in uncomfortable silence, as they had to force Daniel and Janet to eat, all the while getting meaningful looks of Teal'c. After they had finished their dinner Teal'c declared "I shall now transport Daniel Jackson and Doctor Fraser to her home, and then I shall return to Stargate Command". They helped Teal'c load the two passed out Doctors and waved goodbye as the car screeched out of the driveway.
Jack and Sam busied themselves with cleaning up the house, and they were about to sit down when Jack passed Sam a slab of cake, and then pulled her down onto the couch next to him. They shared the cake, and when Sam got up to put the coffee on, she heard Jack change the CD and the familiar sounds of I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth) played softly
I'd never tell you one lie, I'd
never let you down I'd pull the sun out from the
sky to light your darkest night Believe
me baby, I could never do you wrong I'd lie for you and
that's the truth Just take a look in my eyes, you'll see a love that's
blind Your every wish will be a wish that I
will make come true Believe me baby got
your name carved on my soul I'd lie for you and that's
the truth And you will never see a day I'll ever break your
heart Instrumental bridge I'd
lie for you and that's the truth I'd walk across the wild
for you I'd lie for you
and that's the truth I'd lie for you and that's the truth I'd lie for you
and that's the truth
I'd never leave, I'd be the one who'd always be
around
Baby give me a chance
I wouldn't let one drop of rain
fall down into your life
Put your heart in my hands
And I would never paint your
world blue
And if sometimes it seems I must have lost mind
I
might be crazy but I'm crazy about you...
Do anything you want me to
I'd even sell my
soul for you
I'd do it all for you
If you'd just believe in
me
Just take a hold of my hand, I'll take you to paradise
Ain't
a star that's too far
And if you want the moon I swear I'll bring it
down for you
Let me into your heart
You're the only one that I'll give it
to
Go let 'em say that I'm I fool to act this way
'Cause if I'm
crazy, I'm just crazy 'bout you...
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the
fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you
If you'd just believe
in me...
You'll see the sky fall down before it ever gets that
far
I'll show you heaven every second that you're in my arms
Baby
I'm crazy, but I'm crazy about you!
Move mountains if you want me
to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for
you
If you'd just believe in me
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the
fire for you
Do anything you asked me to
Do anything you asked me to
I'd even sell
my soul for you
I'd do it all for you
If you'd just believe in
me
Move mountains if
you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the
wild for you
If you'd just believe in me...
Jack took Sam in his arms and they danced around the living room before Jack's lips captured Sam's in a passionate kiss as the song ended. Jack moved his hands to cup Sam's face and she began to run her fingers through his silver hair before they both had to break for air. Jack looked into Sam's bright blue eyes, silently asking if it was okay before Sam pulled him in for another passion filled kiss, whilst unbuttoning his shirt. They made their way slowly to the bedroom, undressing each other all the while, before Jack picked Sam up and gently laid her on the bed.

Teal'c helped Daniel and Janet to her front door, knowing the archaeologist would be in good hands, and drove back to Cheyenne Mountain in Daniel's car.
Janet woke up to find herself sharing her couch, in the arms of her favourite archaeologist. She started to panic, and then realised that Cassie was spending the night at a friend's house, and they were both fully clothed. She gently disentangled herself from Daniel and went to put the coffee on. When she got back, she saw Daniel sitting bleary eyed, and silently handed him a cup of coffee, using the movement to slide closer to him. Daniel was shocked at their close proximity, but the Latin phrase "Carpe Noctem" came to mind and he cupped her face and kissed her gently, to have Janet deepen the kiss until they were both breathless. Janet slowly got up of the couch, took Daniel's hand in her own and led him to the bedroom.
